  2. Magnetic bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_bearing

    A magnetic bearing. A magnetic bearing is a type of bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest ...

  3. Bearing (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(navigation)

    It should be very close to the magnetic bearing. The difference between a magnetic bearing and a compass bearing is the deviation caused to the compass by ferrous metals and local magnetic fields generated by any variety of vehicle or shipboard sources (steel vehicle bodies/frames or vessel hulls, ignition systems, etc.) [4]

  4. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]

  5. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electromagnetism...

    The definitions for monopoles are of theoretical interest, although real magnetic dipoles can be described using pole strengths. There are two possible units for monopole strength, Wb (Weber) and A m (Ampere metre). Dimensional analysis shows that magnetic charges relate by q m (Wb) = μ 0 q m (Am).

  6. DN factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DN_Factor

    It can also be used to determine if a bearing is the correct choice for use in a given application. [3] It is a product of bearing diameter (D) and speed (N). [1] [2] D = diameter (in millimeters) of the bearing in question. For most types of bearings, there are actually two required measurements: the inner diameter and outer diameter.

  7. Automatic direction finder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Magnetic_Indicator

    The magnetic bearing to the station in this case is 350°. The ADF indicators are a kind of navigational display consisting of a dial and a needle that rotates around the dial and points to the beacon. This needle suggests the "to" bearing of the beacon, and to fly the "from" bearing, 180° needs to be added or subtracted from the reading. [7]

  8. Magnetic coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_coupling

    [6] [5] The other design maximizes torque and resists the consequential axial load with a mechanical thrust bearing. A magnetic stirrer is another example of magnetic coupling. Magnetic couplings are often synchronous, meaning the output shaft speed equals input shaft speed (a 1:1 ratio). [according to whom?]

  9. Magnetic gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Gear

    An intermediate ferromagnetic pole "stator" is usually held stationary between the rings, to direct the concentration of the magnetic lines between the high speed rotor and the low speed rotor. The gear ratio between the rotors is the number of magnetic pole pairs on the high speed rotor to the number of magnetic pole pairs on the low speed rotor.
